About
Shashi Kant Bhatia received his M. Sc and Ph. D degree in Biotechnology from Himachal Pradesh University (India). Thereafter, he worked as a Post Doc fellow in Konkuk University, Seoul, South Korea under the Brain Pool research program. Currently, he is working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Engineering, Konkuk University, Seoul, South Korea. His research area includes industrial microbiology and biotechnology. His main research interest is the exploitation of microbes for biopolymers, antibiotics, bioenergy, secondary metabolites, and enzyme production. He used to work with wild microbes, engineered microbes, and synthetic microbial consortia. His current main research area is the utilization of biomass to produce biofuel using microbial systems. He has published more than 150 International peer-reviewed research articles and book chapters. He has also edited 4 books.
